so suport your local welder and just bring the truck and say i want a skid plate made

thats what i did for my motorcycles and my vw passat w8

 

You had a skidplate made for a passat???? wtf are you doing with it!???? rally?

 

maybe .. .. it is the passat w8 and the transmission and oil pan/sumps ( it has a dry sump system) is only protected by a flimsy piece of plastic so it you hit anything it will just hit the plastic which aint stopping it from hitting the oil and trans pans .. so i had an aluminum one made and well i do like me a dirt/gravel country road. and the snow is fun

 

I doubt it there are any to be found in a wrecking yard. I would probably have one made.

 

I pulled the part number from my original factory ford skid plate (8C3Z7E063A) and it appears to still be a stocked part.

 

Anyone have pictures of the stock skid plate?

 

If no one else does I'll take some tomorrow. Its nothing too impressive.

 

I've always been curious to see what they look like.

 

Behold, in all its glory, my $100 factory optioned skid plate:

 

I bow before the awe and might of your skid plate! I guess it beats a skid mark...

 

Got a part number on that skid plate?

I tried to find it on Tousley site - couldn't find the right category.

D.

 

Hasteranger's factory skid plate is different from the factory one I took off






This one goes from frame rail to frame rail under the t-case. The truck is a 2005 V10.

 

Wonder if it's because his is a diesel and your's is a V10.

 

Could be. idk. I looked at other 04-05 F250/F350's when I bought mine and theirs looked just like mine. all diesels.

 

Any other home-made or Ford skid plates out there snagging limbs, rocks, etc.?
